Photographing Children With Special Needs

Capturing beautiful, meaningful portraits of children with special needs requires more than technical skill—it takes empathy, flexibility, and thoughtful planning. In this session, you’ll learn how to adapt your approach when working with children who use medical equipment, are non-ambulatory, or have developmental or behavioral differences. We’ll explore posing strategies, communication tips with both children and caregivers, and ways to honor each child’s unique story while maintaining professionalism and sensitivity
